Index of notation

[math]\newcommand{\bigudot}{ \mathchoice{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-15mu\cdot\mkern8mu}}{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-13mu\cdot\mkern5mu}}{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-13mu\cdot\mkern5mu}}{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-13mu\cdot\mkern5mu}} }[/math][math]\newcommand{\udot}{\cup\mkern-12.5mu\cdot\mkern6.25mu\!}[/math][math]\require{AMScd}\newcommand{\d}[1][]{\mathrm{d}^{#1} }[/math]Ordered symbols are notations which are (likely) to appear as they are given here, for example [math]C([a,b],\mathbb{R})[/math] denotes the continuous function on the interval [ilmath][a,b][/ilmath] that map to [ilmath]\mathbb{R} [/ilmath] - this is unlikely to be given any other way because "C" is for continuous.

Sub-indices

Due to the frequency of some things (like for example norms) they have been moved to their own index.

Notations starting with R

Expression	Status	Meanings	See also
[ilmath]\mathbb{R} [/ilmath]	current	Real numbers
[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_+[/ilmath]	dangerous	See [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_+[/ilmath] (notation) for details on why this is bad. It's a very ambiguous notation, use [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0} [/ilmath] or [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{>0} [/ilmath] instead.	[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0} [/ilmath] [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{> 0} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0} [/ilmath]	recommended	[ilmath]:=\{x\in\mathbb{R}\ \vert\ x\ge 0\}[/ilmath], recommended over the dangerous notation of [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_+[/ilmath], see details there.	[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_+[/ilmath] [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{>0} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{>0} [/ilmath]	recommended	[ilmath]:=\{x\in\mathbb{R}\ \vert\ x>0[/ilmath], recommended over the dangerous notation of [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_+[/ilmath], see details there.	[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_+[/ilmath] [ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0} [/ilmath]
[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_{\le x},\ \mathbb{R}_{\ge x} [/ilmath], so forth	recommended	Recommended notations for rays of the real line. See Denoting commonly used subsets of [ilmath]\mathbb{R} [/ilmath]	[ilmath]\mathbb{R}_+[/ilmath]

Old stuff

Index example: R_bb means this is indexed under R, then _, then "bb" (lowercase indicates this is special, in this case it is blackboard and indicates [math]\mathbb{R}[/math]), R_bb_N is the index for [math]\mathbb{R}^n[/math]

Expression	Index	Context	Details
[ilmath]\mathbb{R} [/ilmath]	R_bb	Everywhere	Denotes the set of Real numbers
[ilmath]\mathbb{S}^n[/ilmath]	S_bb_N	Everywhere	[math]\mathbb{S}^n\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}[/math] and is the [ilmath]n[/ilmath]-sphere, examples: [ilmath]\mathbb{S}^1[/ilmath] is a circle, [ilmath]\mathbb{S}^2[/ilmath] is a sphere, [ilmath]\mathbb{S}^0[/ilmath] is simply two points.

Markings

To make editing easier (and allow it to be done in stages) a mark column has been added

Marking	Meaning
TANGENT	Tangent space overhall is being done, it marks the "legacy" things that need to be removed - but only after what they link to has been updated and whatnot
TANGENT_NEW	New tangent space markings that are consistent with the updates

Ordered symbols

These are ordered by symbols, and then by LaTeX names secondly, for example [math]A[/math] comes before [math]\mathbb{A}[/math] comes before [math]\mathcal{A}[/math]

[math]\mathcal{D}_a(A)[/math] Common: [math]\mathcal{D}_a(\mathbb{R}^n)[/math]	Differential Geometry Manifolds	Denotes Set of all derivations of a germ - Not to be confused with Set of all derivations at a point which is sometimes denoted [ilmath]T_p(A)[/ilmath]	TANGENT
